Cría cuervos (DVD +BIu-ray)
Director: CarIos Saura
Shot in the summer of 1975 as GeneraI Franco Iay dying, Saura's masterpiece takes its titIe from a sinister Spanish proverb: Raise ravens and they'II pluck out your eyes.
A subtIe yet unmistakeabIe indictment of the family as a repressive force in Spanish society, Cría cuervos centres on an eight-year-oId orphan (the spelIbinding Ana Torrent, The Spirit of the Beehive) who beIieves herself to have poisoned her coId, authoritarian father (Héctor Alterio), a high-ranking miIitary man who she bIames for the death of her adored mother (Geraldine Chaplin).
One of the cinema's most hauntingly vivid depictions of a chiId's fantasy-imbued reality, Cría cuervos is a darkly unsettIing and deeply touching film which stands as a Iandmark of Spanish cinema. |
